How to organize a summer dinner? The summer dinner has on its side the fact that it can be more easily based on the simplicity and freshness of seasonal products. Instead of stews, roasts with potatoes and meatballs, the heat suggests fresh food, for example salads, fruit.
Let’s see in detail what are the yes dishes and the no dishes for a summer dinner that allows us to stay in shape easily.

SUMMER DINNER: THE IDEAS TO SNAP
The eggplant parmigiana : it has fried aubergines, and is too rich in fat to be an easily digestible dish at dinner. It can become the Sunday lunch or the occasional gluttony if accompanied by a salad.

Rice or cereal salads: rice and cereals have a small problem; in fact, a lot of seasoning is needed to make them rich and appreciable. If the sauce is made up of mixed raw and cooked vegetables and pickles, no problem. If, on the other hand, we abound with tuna in oil, mayonnaise, cheeses, packaged salami, pickles, salad is the equivalent of a lunch and a dinner.
Fruit salad with ice cream:when we want to eat ice cream, if we don’t want to gain weight it is necessary to replace it with a meal and not add it. Not even enriching it with fruit, thinking that the fruit salad with ice cream can be a light summer dinner. A cone can be a dinner (if with three flavors, then rich), but a fruit bowl with three or four flavors of ice cream on it is already too much. In particular, if the calories are the same as in pizza, too many simple sugars all together can easily make us fat.
The rustic pies: often made with puff pastry, a mix of cheeses and cured meats, they are anything but light.
Stuffed Vegetables: It depends on what, of course! Tomatoes stuffed with rice, perhaps with tuna and salami, are a real first course and not a side dish.
The fries:yes to a fried fish or squid and shrimp, as long as it does not become a habit. If we don’t know what oil they fry in and if the fish isn’t fresh, we can avoid it.
The bruschetta: if they are seasoned with cherry tomatoes and rocket it is one thing, if you plan to add to preserves and pickles, it is better to avoid.
